Stand Up

We were kids

Looking out into nothin'

Looking for a way to get around tonight

We were kids

Holdin' out for a dream

We were born to be wild and free

Or sit alone online

But I don't wanna wait

Shift the other side of these front lines

Dreamin' up a way to escape

With him around, we be mission control

Give me a sound on the radio

Stand up and be counted

Before we slip away out here

Before we slip away

Slip away

Don't ever doubt it

Even if we're surrounded

Don't wanna slip away

Slip away

Slip away

Slip away

We were kids

We were queens of an empire

We were made out on these seas

We were all designed

So if we're gonna break

If we're gonna tumble in a gun fight

Promise me we'll be side by side

Say you'll be there when the school get's closed

Say you'll be there when the rest don't show

Stand up and be counted

Before we slip away out here

Before we slip away

Slip away

Don't ever doubt it

Even if we're surrounded

Don't wanna slip away

Slip away, oh

High on hope and high on fear

We were heartbreak of the year

We were stackin' up to fall

We were summers in the street

We were sunlight through the trees

We were born for silver screens, oh

We were whispers in the dark

We were sleeping under stars

Singing all of this is ours, oh

We were rollercoaster screams

Till our hearts burst at the seams

We're not going there alone

I'll be strong

Stand up and be counted

Before we slip away out here

Before we slip away

Slip away
